Such a serious Scheuerbe. Gorgeous nose. Wild herbs, sweet lime, sage, blackcurrants. High toned and so wild. Aromas in neon lights. Palate is slamming. Concentrated, elegant and densely structured but oh so nimble and super pure. Unreal class and finesse. So stunning and what a finish. Savory and alive. Cannot wait to see what air does. — 24 days ago

Always such a stunning aroma. Herbal, vegetables, huge aromas and so precise. So juicy and what acidity. This is a stunning version. So juicy and so fresh. Linear and unreal clarity. What a brilliant version. — 4 years ago

Frankly quite amazing. 12.5%. Tasted first at the winery in Durbach - Baden and then 2 days later a second bottle at a friends home. One of the best Rieslings money can buy. Mandarine, peach, hint bitter, orange blossoms - so long. Great minerality provided by the decomposed granite this area is known for. Traditionally made. This area is unique as Riesling is a unicorn in Baden which is dominated by Pinot. Obviously opened way to early but hard to resist. More big and round like the Pfalz Rieslings and not steely and sharp like the Mosel or Nahe. — 4 years ago

Needs an hour of air. Becomes magnificent at that point.

N: white flowers and lemon floor wax. A hint of Passion fruit with air.

P: sweet lemon. Hint of apricot. Mineral. Laible brightness. Not as mineral as the Klingelberger. Very good density. Amazing deliciousness. Long. A great drink.

So strong and upfront is the nose that calling it a bouquet is an insult; as other notes here attest, hugely floral with all kinds of lime & cardamon accents. On palate quite broad yet detailed, a really interesting blend. — a year ago

Morillon vom Opok
Biodynamic Chardonnay from Steiermark.
Cloudy, smokey, yeasty, sappy, fresh!
Bruised apples, ripe lemons, underripe pineapple, green mango. Plus some hay, flinty, smokey aromas. Juicy, fresh, enticing.
On the palate with vibrant acidity, with great freshness & depth. Rough around the edges, with a touch of cidery notes, a bit of VA. There’s a creamy touch to the mouthfeel. And a mineral hint. This is ultra drinkable and so delicious. Love it! — 4 years ago

Sanfte aromatik nach südfrüchten, quitte, reifer pfirsich. Homogene mineralik, mittlere säure….angenehm, süffig. Ein ungewöhnlicher riesling mit eigenem charakter. Vermutlich weil er aus Durbach ist ;-) — a month ago

Astonishing how much acidity this has and how fresh it is. Unreal electricity from a so called low acid grape. Andreas Laible says this is a 25+ year wine. Insane structure. Unreal length. Superstar. Nose is pineapple, peach, some elegant VA but the palate is just insane. The quality is through the roof. It’s like 10% Rococo and 90% Laible. What a wine. — 2 months ago

Outrageous showing. Confectionary nose of sugar snap peas, sweet pink celery, herbs, some apricot and just awesome, forceful driving minerality. Palate is super elegant, super juicy and just so super delicious. Amazingly pure and balanced and so so clean. Slips, slides and glides on the palate. Exceptional minerality that is alive and super cleansing. Just on point. — 5 years ago
